Product Details

Release date: September 4th, 2026 (propably in stock 2-3 weeks after that release date, as the records have to be shipped from Portland, Oregon to Hamburg, Germany) 

The Thermals have announced their first album in 10 years, titled Under Crushing Rain and out September 4. Much like the band’s 2003 debut album, this one was made entirely by Hutch Harris.

Before you ask, Hutch is here with the answer: “For people asking—rightly so— ‘WHERE IS KATHY?’ I kindly answer ‘SHE’S RIGHT HERE, sitting next to me working hard on the layout for the LP, as I write this.’ Not only did I have Kathy’s blessing to make a Thermals LP, I had her help as well.”

With that out of the way, here’s more from Hutch about Under Crushing Rain: ” I set out to make an LP that was incredibly Thermals-like, in the same fashion in which I made More Parts Per Million: quickly, and by myself. Though not as no-fi as the first Thermals LP, it definitely has been made in the same spirit; It is fast, cheap, and totally in control. Produced in my own studio (Brainwash) and released on my own label (Static Catsup Aspic), I believe it is a fine addition to The Thermals’ catalog.”

PPWR & SHIPPING

A little word on PPWR

Chances are, you’ve already heard of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, aka PPWR.

As the name suggests, the whole idea is to reduce packaging waste and make us all a little more conscious about our environmental footprint. Which is, obviously, a good thing.
Pressing records, however, is already something of an ecological nightmare — and we haven’t even started talking about the bonkers ways records travel around the world.

Here at Not Sorry, we try to keep things as sensible as possible: we ship in cardboard mailers, use paper-based packing material and non-plastic tape, and usually throw in only a few flyers and stickers. Some records come wrapped in foil, some don’t. We’re pretty sure you know how to recycle these materials — but if you’re unsure, just drop us a line at weare@not-sorry.de and we’ll figure it out together.

Unfortunately, PPWR also comes with a rather massive downside for small businesses like ours: we would need to register and obtain packaging recycling certificates in every single EU country we ship to. The costs and paperwork involved are simply not manageable for us.

So, for the time being, we can only ship to Germany and all non-EU countries worldwide. Sorry about that!

If you’re inside the European Union but outside Germany and there’s a record in our shop that you absolutely need in your life, please don’t give up just yet. Drop us a line at weare@not-sorry.de and we’ll see if we can find a way to get it to you.

Static Catsup Aspic

Static Catsup Aspic is the independent record label run by Hutch Harris of The Thermals. It's home to his solo releases as well as records by The Thermals.
(And yes—that's not the label's logo. It doesn't actually have one. Shopify insists on an image here, so this is just one of the pictures that pops up when you Google "Static Catsup Aspic.")
